Pascal Auclair
UBC Asian Centre, Vancouver BC
Registration opens: Dec 28 2024
Messy Minds, Winding Path, Joyful Hearts
With an open attitude, both playful and compassionate, we will journey over the weekend into the heart of our turbulent, confused minds. Our own benevolent presence will silently guide us, pointing out dangers and pathways. Pascal, through instructions and teachings, will also help us skillfully navigate the terrain of our lives. The adventure will bring us to the very gate of wisdom, where liberating perspectives await us.
